Gathered below are websites that you can visit that make a difference in the
lives of others. This page was inspired by the book "Do One Nice Thing" by
Debbie Tenzer. We all get those forwarded e-mails to pass on. Sometimes we feel
too caught up in the rush of our daily lives to spend hours making a difference
in the world. Here is a way to help, all collected on one page. Or maybe you
have wanted to help but didn't know where to send things. I hope this page
helps. If you have other suggestions please send them to gpld@geneseo.lib.il.us
